Female bowlers must provide their own BLACK slacks, UL RED slacks, and BLACK finger-tip length bowling skirts. Jerseys will be issued to all members prior to competition and each person will be responsible for proper care. If at any time the coaches or officer ask for the jerseys back, for any reason, they are to be returned.

PRACTICE

​The team practices every Tuesday at 6:30pm and Wednesday at 8:30pm at Acadiana Lanes Bowling Alley . The weeks that we have tournaments we try to also hold practice on that Thursday night. During practice we practice the shots we will be using on certain oil patterns and we also practice baker, which we bowl in most of the tournaments. Practice is a time for trying out new shots and finding out what work best for us as a team, therefore we do like to practice without score. After all, practice isn't about who's the best or the worst, it is about making each other better.Along with getting help from our coaches, we also help each other out with our bowling. Many of us bowl the same way, therefore it is very beneficial for us to help, not criticize, one another.

RULES

Consuming drugs or alcohol during or before any team events including qualifying, practice, tournaments, or fundraisers is expressly forbidden. ANY MEMBER WHO DOES NOT FOLLOW THESE RULES WILL IMMEDIATELY BE DISMISSED FROM THE TEAM.
